Badrinath Ki Dulhania

Shashank Khaitan reprized Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge concept second time with some message for audience. Women empowerment, Dowry and Self confidence were good ingredient of this script. Alia Bhatt and Varun Dhawan on screen chemistry set fire in the romantic comedy. Some great performance from Makdee fame Shweta Basu Prasad , Sahil Vaid and Yash Sinha. Music was good especially "Tamma Tamma Again" brilliantly recreated.Dialogues were full of punches and full of laughter. However script need some improvement in the second half. Repeated use of Oxygen gas cylinder was bad choice. Roadies and IGT style selection for groom brought smile on the face of audience.

Badrinath Ki Dulhania is the first Bollywood movie I went and watched at the Cinema's! It was definitely worth it.

A great movie, made me laugh, cry and think. I was looking forward to seeing this movie since watching Humpty Ki Sharma late last year. While Humpty is great in it's own way, Badrinath is more mature so expectations were definitely met.

The chemistry between Alia-Varun remain in tact and one of the core reasons for my purchasing the tickets. The script is fairly well written, the leads delivered the lines perfectly, the scenes, the long and close-up shots were done extremely well & at the right time. I especially liked the depth of anger and hurt displayed on Badrinath's face (you'll see it, red eyes and all), Varun is exceptional and camera works truly captured this using close-ups. Vaidehi's character, I didn't understand until towards the end, specifically, on the rooftop of a building in Singapore, Alia's delivery of one line, helped me to understand her character ... in turn, Badri's reaction is equally great. I was bouncing between who is right

The flaws that I saw in the movie, I think the timing of my favorite song 'humsafar' was wrong, it played too early ...for me, anyway, and Badri's father delivered very few lines and yet he had the most power over his family ..I think the actor that played Badri's father didn't do the best job - sorry! But very true!

I would definitely recommend this movie!! India is gorgeous, this movie shows that, also, loved that I heard 'samajhawan' music in one scene... best chemistry, Varun has a killer smile and Alia looked gorgeous- I think this is the most girly I have seen her! Can't wait for their next movie together.

Here's to the Vaidehis and Badrinaths of the world :)

#BadrinathKiDulhania : After seeing the trailer, I felt that it's gonna be another Humpty Sharma type movie. But, Varun Dhawan's success ration made me to watch this movie on first day. So, here is its review!

Director Shashank Khaitan and Dharma Production have tried to make a simple-family oriented- love story with colorful costumes, sets and songs. And they have done it really well. Varun Dhawan and Alia Bhatt are fabulous together. We have seen their superb chemistry in Humpty Sharma. But, I'm amazed with the chemistry between Varun Dhawan and Sahil Vaid (his friend). Both have just rock the screen!

Story is moving on a fast paced track in first half. Interval will make you sad, as in that time the film would not be running. And you all will wait for the second half to start. As the first half is supremely fast, colorful, humorous, and full on with Varun Dhawan's Dhamaal. Second half is slightly slow paced, somehow it looses the grip. Though there are certain songs and 3 awesome funny moments, including Varun Dhawan with the baddies of Singapore. That's a LOL moment. Then the paced gears up after Tamma Tamma song. The conversation between Alia n Varun after that song is worth to watch. Writers have shown their maturity in that scene. Kudos. And again in the end, writers and actors like Varun and Alia nail it. Film ends with a happy-go-lucky song- The title track.

Alia Bhatt is as usual fantastic. I like Varun Dhawan since SOTY so I'll not say anything about him. He is as best as he can. Sahil Vaid is the JAAN of this movie. Without him, I don't think this film would become like this. For him only, I will watch this movie again and again whenever I'll get the chance. Both the fathers have done superb job with their oxygen cylinders especially Swanand Kirkire. Shweta Basu's comeback is appreciable. Aparshakti Khurrana and his song JMD will remain with you forever. Overall, a decent cast.

Songs are better than the previous part. There was only Samjhavan song, but it was a huge hit. A glimpse of that song is also here in the background in climax. Humsafar, Tamma Tamma, Title Track, Roke Na Ruke Naina- all songs are superb, let me download these amazing songs.

Direction and camera-work are fine. I have just one problem in second half where it starts to loose the grip. Otherwise, there are so many moments of fun and joy that the dull moments will hide behind them. Congratulations to the entire team for making one more film on Dulhaniya franchise, with a great love, passion and a social message, too. I like this movie more than the previous.

On the whole, Varun Dhawan will keep his success ratio alive with this movie. Go and watch this family film. A holy-entertainment on Holi days!

It was definitely a well balanced film which consists the right amount of romance, comedy, human emotion, drama and reality of the society.

Unlike other films it does not sugarcoat the fact of existing dowry system of the society and frankly showed the general emotion about it in the mind contemporary youth.

The story was well crafted and had a balanced combination of everything. The first half was full of fun and entertainment, and the second half was allocated for the complex emotional part; which made the film all the more enjoyable.

The casting was also superb. It is always a breath of fresh air to watch age appropriate actor and actress perform together, rather than the odd pair of old actor and young actress. So it was great to see Alia Bhatt and Varun Dhawan together again. They both matured a lot in acing and their on screen chemistry was phenomenal. They both looked fabulous throughout the film. And the tracks of the films are quite good also.

I really enjoyed the film. You should also watch the film and it is safe to say that you will also like the film and the characters of the film.

RECOMMENDED.

This is well made family entertainer. Story is good and there is social message. Comedy and romance are mixed very well. Both Varun and Alia impress with talent and are nice to watch. After a long time, this is a movie to the liking of my wife and her marks for this movie are 10/10. While other family members overall liked it with some reservation about second half. Your money will not be wasted if you want to pass time by watching this movie with family. Songs are good and are well choreographed. Story moves between Jhansi famous for Rani Lakshmibai a courageous woman. Supporting actors have done their role very well particularly that of side kick of our hero.
